Chapter 4
“Take all of these things back!”
Emmanuel had Terence take everything back after
hitching a ride.
“What?”
Terence wasn’t the only one shocked by Emmanuel’s
demand, though. Alessandra and Roselynn were just
as surprised as he was.
“These things are worth at least ten million! Are you
sure you don’t want them?” Terence asked again to
make sure his ears weren’t deceiving him.
Ten million may be a small figure for me, but it should
be an astronomical sum for this young man and his
family!
“That’s right; I don’t want them. My late father taught
me not to accept things I don’t deserve. I can’t be
accepting such expensive gifts simply for helping you,”
Emmanuel replied firmly.
Roselynn could only let out a helpless sigh when she
saw how noble he was.
Alessandra felt a little upset as she wondered when
Emmanuel would be able to find himself a girlfriend
and get married.
Chapter 4 Getting Married
“Haha! Very well, then!”
Terence nodded excitedly and brought the gifts home.
Fearing that Mackenzie wouldn’t believe him, he even
recorded the entire process and showed it to her as
proof.

“Do you see that, Mackenzie? I told you that man would
be able to pa*s the test! Now that you’ve lost the bet,
it’s time to honor your word and marry him! I want my
grandchildren!” Terence urged her.
Although Mackenzie said nothing in response, she was
not one to go back on her word. Since she had lost the
bet with her grandfather, she decided to take care of
things the next day. Otherwise, he would surely pester
her about it every day.
Emmanuel received a phone call from an unknown
number very early the next day.
“Since you refused to accept my gifts yesterday, I have
decided to introduce a potential wife to you instead.
You wouldn’t say no to this, would you, young man?”
This voice… It’s the strange old man from yesterday!
“Hey, old man, are you some kind of scammer or
something? Is this a new tactic to scam people out of
their life savings?” Emmanuel responded with a
chuckle.
Of course, he didn’t actually think Terence was a
scammer. He could tell from Terence’s aura that the
old man was incredibly wealthy.
However, he couldn’t seem to figure out why Terence
chose him out of everyone else.
Terence deliberately taunted him by saying, “Haha!
Yes, I want to scam you into marrying a woman. What’s
the matter? Are you scared?”
“What a coincidence! That’s the only thing I’m not
afraid of!” Emmanuel replied seriously.
Alessandra had been pestering him non-stop after his
eighteenth matchmaking session ended in failure
yesterday, so he was willing to marry any woman just
to shut her up.
“Then head over to City Hall right now with all the
relevant documents,” Terence instructed.
Fine! I’ll go! I’m not afraid of getting married!
With that in mind, Emmanuel did as told and headed
over to City Hall with all the relevant documents.

Terence had told him that the other party was a strong
and capable professional in the corporate world, so
Emmanuel did not have high hopes for her
appearance.
Being a gynecologist, he had gotten so used to seeing
the female body that he didn’t even care about her
figure.
All Emmanuel wanted was for her to have a decent
character.
At the very least, she would have to be better than
Milani.
His jaw dropped in shock when he arrived at City Hall
and saw the woman he was supposed to marry.
What? Mackenzie?
Her icy-cold aura and the red convertible she was in
was a clear indicator that she was from a wealthy
family. Despite how beautiful she looked, no guy dared
hit on her because she was clearly out of their league.
“Well? What are you waiting for? Come on over!”
Mackenzie called out to him.
Her gaze alone was enough to make Emmanuel
comply obediently.
That old man wasn’t lying when he said she was a
powerful woman in the corporate world! She has such
an authoritative and domineering air about her!

“Ms. Quillen? Are you the one who wants to marry me?”
Emmanuel asked as he was still in disbelief.
“What, you don’t want to marry me?” Mackenzie
retorted with a slight frown.
Man, that icy-cold aura of hers sure is scary! I bet she’s
still single because most guys are intimidated by her!
“Of course I do! I wouldn’t have come here otherwise!”
10/20
Emmanuel wasn’t sure if he was excited or afraid of his
situation.
Mackenzie may be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever
seen, but she seems a bit difficult to get along with. Oh,
well… I just need to get married to shut my mother up,
so it doesn’t really matter if we get along or not!
“Then let’s head inside and get this over with!”
